Greetings and Happy New Year

[raymac46]

Hello from Arch Linux on my creaky old Toshiba NB305 netbook.Just upgraded Arch and it continues to be stable and useful on this tiny machine. The small memory footprint is a problem but things seem OK using the Falkon browser with LXQt.

This laptop was junk when my neighbor gave it to me 5 years ago. It was running Windows 7 starter at the time. I think it is great to be able to do useful stuff on a nearly 13 year old netbook, thanks to Arch Linux.
